The idea of mermaids has been around for quite some time, from the days of the sailor, to The Little Mermaid.
However, these days, they've risen in popularity. Mystical things like mermaids and unicorns are now dubbed "cool" by the trend police, and we are all totally on board with it.
Whether it's a whole parade dedicated to mermaids, or the fact that unicorn is now basically a food group, these mystical creatures are part of our culture now.
Pregnant mamas-to-be are definitely not behind on this trend. If anything, they're helping perpetuate the love of mystical mermaids with maternity photoshoots like the one below.
Photographer Ulysses Padilha takes all kinds of beautiful photos, but these mer-mom pictures below are what caught our eye. Get ready to feel the true magic of maternity with these nautical photos!
